Iran's Culture will survive all the barbarian onslaught

Stop the war!!! Stop this!!! Nuclear countdown? This must be the darkest time in human history!

@mehdirhasan @KarimkhanF Imagine being an Iranian in diaspora who never supported any war and yet your family, nieces and nephews, friends, relatives, former teachers, profs, colleagues, and... are under threat of annihilation! Can someone relate?

Imagine being an Iranian in the diaspora who supported this war. You fricking idiots.

@KavehMadani @UNUniversity @UN_Water @FAOLandWater @UNCCD Congratulations!

North Tehran’s Aqdasiyeh oil depot is ablaze tonight after it was targeted by multiple US-Israeli airstrikes. Apocalyptic scenes filmed by Iranians driving on the nearby highway. Local reporters saying firefighters can’t put it out. This depot is critical energy infrastructure.

And the humanitarian interventions continue… 📍Tehran #StopWarOnIran

If anyone saw this in their city or town, they would think: "This is what liberation looks like. We are so grateful to the foreigners bombing our civilian and economic infrastructure and dropping bombs in our neighborhoods." Iranian girls in particular are swooning with joy:

Iran places Blue Shield emblems on cultural properties in accordance with the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed conflict.

My family is in Tehran and we haven’t been able to reach them for days. But I know families in Israel are also living in fear of rockets and sirens. Ordinary people on both sides did not ask for this. This escalation benefits no one. Ceasefire. Dialogue. Humanity first.

Hello X, Zakvatech here. We are working to turn scars of legacy mining and abandoned gold mines into rehabilitated land and cleaner ecosystem while extracting the hidden resources: turning an environmental liability into a valuable resource! #Cleantech #Innovation

Coca Cola had cocaine in it. The coca now studied for compounds that may have medicinal properties. Dr McCurdy is one of the top experts in plant based products for medicine, incl. Kratom- a highly controversial drug (it’s very addictive but may help some people get off opioids).

Why has Iran become water-bankrupt? #WaterBankruptcy
